Just wondering out here, cause Im really torn between these two. With Spotify family and Apple One I use both alternately and in both Im missing some parts that the other one have.
-
for Apple Music I mostly lack good new songs suggestion algorithm, because it very often just plays me a song that I would never ever listen to - and that’s based on “continue playing” from current playlist.
-
for Spotify I lack Losseless and Spatialise.
in terms of UI, both are somewhat not great
- Apple Music is cumbersome and hard to navigate to song that is currently playing.
- Spotify is just too much noise on the screen for me
What are your thoughts?
Library’s very good. It has every song from the major labels and a very decent library of independant artists.
Song suggestions are… fine ? I mean, it will suggest songs from a broader spectre. It’s very cool for somebody who likes to discover new genres that kinda relates to what you are listening to.
But if your aim is to have the most similar music to what you are listening, and also have a very closed suggestion list based on spotify and youtube-like algorithms, then qobuz won’t give it to you.
To me, I’d rather have a wider gamut of suggestions than always the same songs going round. So qobuz all the way.
The fact Qobuz has a download store is great, though I’ve heard they’ve stopped people from downloading from the website, forcing you to use the app. Not so great.
